Right? Show me Honda and Subaru’s balance sheet compared to GM’s.

Those same regions also get by with no safety standards or car seat regulations either...

Small cars have a low margin and there is a lot of competition from established brands and it is currently a small market compared to CUVs (which are, btw, sharing the same platforms as sedans and can be quickly shifted from one segment to another as the market needs in the future). What did you anticipate they were…

i read that in a mcconaughey voice and it was perfect.

in 500 feet turn......alright, alright, alright...

If you have, let’s say a 40 minute commute, and you can get into a robo-car, zoom to work and zoom home another 40 while working, and that hour and twenty minutes counts towards your 8 hour day and you are only spending 6.5ish hours or so at the office, that sounds pretty rad to me.

Everything looks like everything else. We know.

Ive driven one of the new ones, and it was good as any of its competitors.

Why so down on GM on the self-driving tech? They’ve long dabbled in autonomous cars, they’ve long worked on electric vehicles, and now they’re making the Bolt the obvious test bed for their autonomous tech on public roads in Michigan under the state’s newly implemented regulatory system. Which in turn will give all…

If plans are met, about 10,000 Airs will be produced by the end of 2018, with eventual full production at about 60,000 a year, a Lucid spokesman said.

I just wonder if my stepdaughter’s children will ever learn how to drive since autonomous cars are right around the corner. She’s 8 now, so who knows.

Not even Pontiac Aztek ugly...

My best friend got a Model X a couple months ago. It’s very fast. It also feels as cheap as a 1990s Kia. Plastic everywhere, weird seat backs that look like a shiny Boblebee backpack, tacky interior, and yes, the exterior is ugly. Not even Pontiac Aztek ugly, where it can grow on you—more like uncanny valley ugly,…

I agree. People were driving way too fast for the conditions at hand, ice and slow plus blind hill, = slow the fuck down, or at least get off the throttle.

Am I the only one that places the blame on the shithead motorists driving too fast for conditions over the top of a hill?

Except for the doors on the Model X. And Tesla, in general, has been having their share of other quality control issues. I wouldn’t hold them up as an example of how a tech company can make a reliable vehicle- they aren’t a traditional technology company and their vehicles, while cool and futuristic, aren’t all that…

Neutral: Good move for Google. Making cars is not the trivial task that Silicon Valley thought it would be. Even harder: Making money at making cars is a feat reserved for but a handful of companies globally. I applaud Google for recognizing this reality — especially because Silicon Valley typically thinks…

1st gear: Well, YEAH. Making cars is hard. There’s thousands of parts that all connect in weird ways. Even automakers can’t get it right first time every time- that’s why there’s recalls. Tech companies (with their culture of “just issue a patch”) sure weren’t going to do it well. Better to be a supplier.

News just in: Making cars is harder than making a phone!
